When mining labour hire makes sense
Peak workload and shutdowns
Extra trades during a shutdown keep the critical path moving. See our planned and shutdown maintenance support for larger scopes of work.
Specialist tasks
Some jobs need a specific skill set for a few weeks. We can place a fitter, boilermaker or auto electrician for exactly that window.

Labour hire questions we are often asked
Do you supply crews for underground work?
Yes. Our team supports both underground and surface operations, including mobile equipment such as drills, loaders and trucks.
How quickly can personnel start?
It depends on the trade and current commitments. Contact us with your dates and we will tell you honestly what we can cover.
Can labour hire be combined with workshop work?
Yes. Many clients use our site crews alongside our workshop repairs and rebuilds so one provider handles both.
Who supervises the crew?
Personnel usually work under your site supervision. We can also supply HES supervisors and leading hands where you prefer a self-managed crew.
